Turnout Horse Rugs for Big-Shouldered Heavy Horses & Ponies – Designed by Heavy Horse Owners
Finding the perfect heavy horse turnout rug can be a challenge for owners of broad-chested, muscular horses. At Epic Equestrian, we specialize in designing turnout rugs for heavy horses that provide an exceptional fit for breeds with powerful shoulders, deep chests, and apple-bottoms. Unlike standard horse rugs that are often too tight or restrictive, our rugs are crafted with a unique fit tailored to Traditional Gypsy Cobs, Irish Cobs, Shire horses, Clydesdales, Belgian Drafts, Percherons, Irish Draughts, and other large-framed equines.
We offer a diverse range of heavy horse turnout rugs, including lightweight, medium weight, and heavyweight turnout rugs, all engineered for durability, comfort, and protection against the elements. Made from high-quality 1200 denier ripstop waterproof fabric, our rugs ensure long-lasting wear while featuring a soft antibacterial, antistatic lining to enhance your horse’s comfort.
All our heavy horse turnout rugs come with the option of detachable neck covers, designed specifically to accommodate the thick, muscular necks of heavy breeds. Our range is available in sizes 5’9 – 7’6, with options for both broad fit (for heavy breeds) and regular fit (for standard horses and ponies). Whether you're looking for a premium solution from our Epic Classic range or an affordable option from our Epic Essential collection, we have a rug to suit your budget and needs.

Lightweight Turnout Rugs for Heavy Horses & Ponies
For milder weather or horses that tend to run warm, our lightweight heavy horse turnout rugs offer the perfect balance of protection and breathability. These rugs are ideal for autumn months or for horses that don’t require heavy insulation but still need protection from rain and wind.
Our lightweight turnout rugs are available in 0g to 100g fill options to provide the right amount of coverage. The Epic Classic Lightweight Turnout Rug features a Teflon™ treatment that repels dirt and water, along with attachments for our rug liner system, allowing you to customize warmth as needed. For a budget-friendly alternative, our Epic Essential Lightweight Turnout Rug delivers a no-frills solution for everyday use.
To prevent condensation buildup inside the rug, we recommend a light-filled turnout rug like the Epic Classic 50g Turnout Rug or the Epic Essential 40g Turnout Rug, which creates a breathable barrier between your horse and the rug.
Medium Weight Turnout Rugs for Heavy Horses & Ponies
When temperatures drop, our medium weight heavy horse turnout rugs provide optimal warmth and protection. Designed for winter conditions, these rugs feature 200g of insulation to keep your horse cozy without overheating.
Our Epic Classic Medium Weight Turnout Rug includes Teflon™ coating for superior water and dirt repellency and attachments for our rug liner system, offering added versatility for changing temperatures. For a more economical option, our Epic Essential Medium Weight Turnout Rug provides a comfortable and functional design at a budget-friendly price.
Heavyweight Turnout Rugs for Heavy Horses & Ponies
For sub-zero temperatures and extreme winter conditions, our heavyweight heavy horse turnout rugs ensure maximum warmth and protection. With 300g of insulation, these rugs are designed to keep your horse comfortable during the harshest weather.
Before selecting a heavyweight turnout rug, we advise checking your horse’s temperature to avoid over-rugging, as overheating can be just as problematic as being too cold. Our Epic Essential Heavyweight Turnout Rug provides a durable and affordable option for owners who want warmth without unnecessary frills.
Heavy Horse Turnout Neck Covers – Designed for Thick, Muscular Necks
A well-fitted heavy horse neck cover is essential for keeping your horse warm and dry, especially in windy and rainy conditions. At Epic Equestrian, we design heavy horse turnout neck covers using unique size charts tailored to the powerful necks of breeds like Shires, Clydesdales, Irish Draughts, and Gypsy Cobs.
Our turnout neck covers are available in extra lightweight, lightweight, and medium weight options, ensuring your horse has the right level of coverage. Constructed from the same 1200 denier ripstop waterproof fabric as our turnout rugs, our neck covers are detachable for added versatility. They are lined with a soft antibacterial and antistatic fabric, making them comfortable and safe for everyday use.
Available in Medium to Extra Large sizes, our neck covers come in both Broad Fit (for heavy breeds) and Regular Fit(for standard horses and ponies).
